"Toyota Lean" - best fix? (1 Viewer)

[tlin]

Rear Driver sits low, Passenger Front sits high. Tires same all around (within 1/8" diameter, same PSI everywhere, regular rotations).

I am planning on putting spacers atop my Driver Rear coil to compensate and then make any final tuning via my adjustable Ironmans up front. Is there a different approach I should consider before tackling this "soon"?

Did my full suspension replacement ~6 years ago and get alignment checked ~1x/year. Still rides great but the visible "lean" (which settled in to its current state over a fairly long period) is driving me nuts.

Have you considered - or do you already have - the adjustable threaded Ironman rear coil conversion kit on your rig? That's probably the easiest way to totally dial it as you can get it perfect. Obviously this is more expensive than a spacer but is, IMO, a better solution.

No, MetalTech springs/conversion in the rear. No adjustment there...

I realize this is probably just a "sanity check" question by me before diving in. I appreciate the feedback!

The Ironman conversion kit would give you that, but $300 is a tough pill to swallow when spacers are like $50 .

I should have mentioned, I already have the spacers.

With no dissenting guidance right now, I'll plan on going as outlined. Thanks again for chiming in - much appreciated as always.

It's really about finding the perfect amount of KDSS lean to counter-act the usual Toyota lean...

A rear spacer and adding a little bit of height/pre-load to driver's front coilover is the fix. The sprint seat on my Dobinsons is like 1/4 inch higher on the driver's side and the front of my truck is level. I still get a little lean in the rear with a full tank of gas but I'm waiting to get my new bumper installed before I add any spacers or threaded adjusters in the back.

No KDSS on my rig, FYI.

Spacers all the way. To level out my 100 I needed an extra 25mm on the drivers side rear coil.

I put a 1/2” spacer on my driver rear coil and 1/4” circlip increase on my front driver side bilstein 6112 with 700 lbs/in coilovers

It’s never perfect!
